Andrew (Taff) Davies ex 3 Para

It is with deep personal regret that I inform you of Andrew (Taff) Davies death on the 15th July 2019. Details are scarce at the moment, but apparently Andy / Taff Davies died suddenly, while out walking his dog. He was an ex member of 3 Para, and served in Northern Ireland and the Falklands War 1982. He an absolutely fantastic bloke, full of energy, a tremendous individual and a friend to all, many of you will know his brother Mark who served in 2 Para.
